[quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't "hate" Chrissy Teigen, because I don't have enough investment in people I don't know. However, I do believe it is extremely problematic to put people on pedestals who have caused grave harm to other people with zero consequences. Teigen has showed she is ugly on the outside, and as a mother who is strongly against bullying of any kind, I can't imagine aligning with this woman, or lionizing her when there are clearly many other women in the world who have done a lot of good - I don't understand the focus on someone who has negative value and has done nothing for society, in fact the opposite- she willingly and knowingly relentlessly harassed teenagers.

Pulling this out because it's a good point. I'm probably less invested in Teigen's bullying past, BUT I do think that often valid criticism of celebrities, including Teigen, is written off as "haters gonna hate" or people being jealous. A lot of people develop parasocial obsessions with celebrities, or over-identify with celebrities because of the perceived (and false) closeness of social media and other forms of interaction, and will defend literally anything they do. I've seen it with lots of different celebs.

Sometimes people are making valid criticisms, or at least opinions grounded in unbiased assessments, and it gets dismissed as just people hating on a famous woman. Well guess what, sometimes famous women do things worth criticizing. It's not anti-feminist to do so.[/quote]
